Well Josh (Amber Gold) here's a big "Your Right". A blower makes a world of difference even on my leaky old arch. Now I have to do it my low tech (and low buck)way. I headed up to the dump with some tools, and found a propane fired hot water heater. Ripped the power vent off of it. And stuck it in front of my draft door. Now its just a trial fit but I think its going to stay. My pan is almost a foot above the flues and for the first time I had to keep on the defoamer to keep it in the pan. Was never able to get a batch drawn, today. I was just about there when a phamton gust of wind blew through the imgainary sugar house and took my hydrometer and cup for a flight. Of which the hydrometer didn't survive the landing. I was able to borrow one, but not quick enough to do that draw.
